Amish...ing Friendship Bread!

Are you familiar with this? Or Are you just like me that just learned about Amish …when I arrived here in New Jersey. :) When I learned about them, whew! I never thought that there are people who are living extremely conservative and resist modern conveniences. Just read more about Amish…I can say that they’re amazing people…and I think this people will always be one to survive …no matter what happened to the economy…and will never be affected by any recession or financial crisis…:) They’ll always be the survivor. :)

Let me go back to their “Amishingly Friendship Bread” as I call it….:) This is a very interesting way to make bread and who said that chains are only for letters or emails. But this is a very sweet, interesting and fun to make bread. You can really make friends out of this. I had fun making and baking this bread. :)

I received the bread starter from my friend’s sister who is living in Pennsylvania, where you can find some Amish people. I’ve enjoyed baby sitting this bread starter hahaha! for 10 days...no worries there's an instruction given..all you have to do is mush...mush...mush...:) ! of course there's other things to do hehehe!

But this is a great something to share with a friend or family. :) I really find this great and awesome idea, it’s sweet and personal…I love it and the bread too. How I wish I can share the starters with my family and friends. But no worry folks …got this site and this will guide you how to make the bread starter. Thanks to allrecipes.com.

Here’s the picture of the bread starter and the instruction.



And btw…after making our own bread out of that starter, we loved and liked the bread. It taste good, especially for people who loved cinnamon bread.

Here’s the bread. Hmmm…taste good.


Better when you share the starter with a friend ..give them a sample slice of the bread. :)

Try making one ....great to share this Valentines day!. :)

Busy days...means busyness or business?!

Let's see if my busyness is equal to business. Whatever it takes, busy for me is something to be thankful. :) Wondering why? ... if we have something to do, that means we're not idle or lazy. An opportunity for us to keep moving. But for some busy for them is just an excuse to something, like not calling a loved one, friend or a missed occasion. :) Let me recall how's my "busyness" for the past weeks. Had a great time in Ohio, what a long drive!, long drive is sometimes great if you're just the passenger lol! You have time to look around, think while napping ( how's is it possible? lol) well, it's possible for me...it's just like day dreaming! :). A time to appreciate the quietness of the green surroundings that we passed by and just merely a get away. My online course in Open Education is almost over. Collaborating with people around the globe with same interest is amazing. Exploring the many possibilities of this new learning culture. Defi...

A crave for Tsokolate eh ...!

The other day I was craving for a hot chocolate...well maybe because of the cold weather. But I was craving for not just a hot chocolate. I want something that I used to have back in the Philippines...we call it Tsokolate eh ... wait how are you going to pronounce it ...it should be like this cho-koh-la-teh-eh!...i put the exclamation so you have an accent on the eh!...:) It's a Filipino thick hot chocolate, very similar to the signature hot chocolate of Starbucks. But of course it's way cheaper than a Starbucks hot chocolate. :) Tsokolate eh! is made up of tabrilya (tab-rillia)it's a cacao balls. But it's basically from a cacao fruit. It comes in different shapes but rounded tabrilya is the most common. :) There's a traditional way of doing this ...like before they use a beater for this called "batidor", but I don't use that anymore I just let it boil and use a regular spoon to beat it.:) Simplier but of course it taste better if it's done the...

"Philippine Hospitality" is on TWB(Teacherswithoutborders)

Philippine Hospitality is one of the characteristic that stands out among Filipinos. This is a common trait that Filipinos are known for, especially to most foreigners who have traveled around the country. They will even go out of their way to ensure guest feels comfortable. I remember my mom would have a set of towels, blankets and other stuff prepared and reserved for visitors, given that we don't have much of those for us to use. But it is a primary and mandatory custom. Although we are not the only people in the world who can be friendly and welcoming, but this characteristic is exceptional among us. Actually, there's no country in Southeast Asia where foreigners are so well welcomed as in the Philippines . I know, Thailand , Japan or China are also hospitable, but remain distant. Compare to the Filipino hospitality where in our smile is not politely distant, it is spontaneous and from the heart. What really makes "Philippine Hospitality" exceptional? Here ...
